(Bug #13029647)

The Manage Security window initially shows
the first connection as selected, but it is not.
(Bug #13026478)

While administrating a server instance, importing a project
folder will result in an "Import from Disk" error after the
following sequence: Data Export and restore,
Export to Dump project folder, with
Dump views and Dump stored routines...
checked, then exporting a schema with views and/or routines,
opening the SQL Editor and dropping the exported schema, then
clicking Import to Disk within the server
administrator.
(Bug #13025419)

Within a diagram view, the Edit,
Find, Find advanced option

instead enter "Edit Name" mode after the second click.
(Bug #12884796)

Instance wizard would send the incorrect service name
to the MySQL admin. The command is now constructed at run time
using the service name from the server instance profile.

The Alter Table... option did not function on
tables with triggers.
(Bug #12546727, Bug #61110)

Selecting and dragging tables to the diagram area failed. A
workaround was to collapse the table list first and then drag it
over, although it was only possible to drag a single table.
(Bug #62267, Bug #13013851)

The Configuration File path within the
Server Administration panel is now read-only,
when before it would temporarily set the path. This path should

Fixed a typo, where "database" was misspelled as "dabase" within
the DBDesigner description.
(Bug #62250, Bug #12912465)

(Bug #61910, Bug #12912786)

A Download Prerequisites link is now
displayed when prerequisites, such as the "Visual C++ 2010
Redistributable Package" requirement, are not met. Before, the

difficult to read due to incompatible background colors with the
"Windows classic Style" scheme.

(Bug #61641, Bug #12711143)

The Users and Privileges window did not scale
to low screen resolutions like 1024x768. It does now, although

1280x800.
(Bug #61518, Bug #12661556)

On Linux and Mac OS X, using Tab and
Shift+Tab to jump to next/previous fields
has been added to the query result view. It had previously only
worked on Windows. Additionally, the

current cell, and
PageUp/PageDown
scrolls one page up and down in the result set.
(Bug #60865, Bug #12368205)

MySQL Workbench would crash when attempting to use Alter
Table or Create Table from within
the context menu.

panel containing Actions, Schemas, and details would expand to
fill half of the view window, and the size could not be
adjusted.
(Bug #60692, Bug #12587848)

On Mac OS X, Command+W will now close the
active script editor tab, and Command+Shift+W
will now close the active connection tab. This is now consistent
with behavior on other operating systems. Before, the
Command+W combination closed the active
connection tab.
(Bug #60253, Bug #11829750)

Pressing Esc once now escapes out of edit mode
within the row editor. Before, it had to be pressed twice.
(Bug #60131, Bug #11829997)

The Copy Row Content option would throw an
unexpected exception, from within a model.

MySQL Workbench would allow the creation of foreign keys on tables
using engines that do not support them. A warning is now emitted
if this is attempted.
(Bug #57875, Bug #11764972)

MySQL Workbench did not fully adhere to locale settings, which could
result in unhandled exceptions.
(Bug #56869, Bug #11764077)

The Foreign Keys tab of the
Alter Table wizard only created an index,
without the foreign key.

Editor windows would sometimes lose focus, but they are now
docked within the main application window, which eliminated this
problem.
(Bug #55923, Bug #11763235)

Auto-scrolling for the SQL output and history windows was added.
(Bug #55865, Bug #11763183)

panel, instead of a pop-up window.
(Bug #54765, Bug #11762197)

On Linux, the previously set window positions and sizes were not
saved by MySQL Workbench. These settings are now saved upon closing,
and used when MySQL Workbench is loaded.
